[@mvnnyss3774]

I have a 2015 Camaro and visibility is easy. The way I see it, when you’re so far ahead, there no reason to look back!

[@zmanmotors6649]

Got my 2019 2SS. I love it so much!

[@wtpiv6041]

So yes, as a Camaro owner I got used to the visibility fairly quickly. You really just need to use your mirrors and that gives you enough visibility. Although you do have to be aware of the blind spots which are easy enough to negate if you angle your side mirrors out a little more. I like it to where I can just barely see the flat portion of my car. (The little side flare on the side near the rear where the cabin meets the trunk.) That position gives plenty visibility although I might angle it out more since I sometimes move my head a little to the right to make sure the lane is clear.

[@coniccinoc]

Good mirror position advice no matter what vehicle you drive. Recently test drove a Camaro and thought the visibility wasn't an issue.

[@nottelling4828]

@@coniccinoc I went from a 2014 Toyota Camry SE to a 2014 Camaro 1LT, so yeah - the visibility sucked. However, before long and with the proper side mirror adjustments, it's nothing now. I don't even consider it a "thing" anymore, believe it or not. Backing into spots is a pain in the butt (no rear camera), but other than that, no visibility issues now that I learned to use my mirrors properly and how to check my spots before changing lanes or merging.

[@adrianmedina8087]

Since I got mine people love to sit in my blind spot lol

[@vincentnicomarnelego5417]

Camaro ss maganda ng buhay

[@vincentnicomarnelego5417]

Very beautiful

[@MLeeder53]

I owned one and loved it, and miss it so much I just ordered a 2020 1le! When you live with it and drive it every day visibility is a non issue. If anything when I sold my 2017 Camaro to get a type r I felt completely exposed in the type r lol. Like everyone can see me and is looking at me feeling. to each their own.

[@joshmeselfhighup1603]

That camaro looks damn good

[@scarbourgeoisie]

As a long time Mustang fan (since '67) and having owned a Fox body, a new edge, a new Boss and Shelby, it was the latest generation of the F-body that sold me on the car. I'd take it over any Mustang. That's a hard thing to say after 50+ years as a fanboy, but this car is so well done.

[@leafsrule2116]

glad you like the car really whats not to like in both of them sporty fast fun and great looking .

[@392Eleventh]

When I was in a market for a SS, I almost changed my mind towards a 5.0 or scat pack just because the visibility was horrendous when I first test drove it, but I knew it was something that was gonna take some time, so I went to multiple different dealers just to test drive multiple SS’s just to get used to the visibility overtime until I found the perfect SS for me. If visibility is something that is a dealbreaker, please, keep test driving them over and over and you’ll eventually get used to it, just like I did. Loving my 2017 2SS, best used sports car for the money, nothing competes with it in terms bang for buck and used sports car market price range.

[@bmlove81]

Looking at this green Camaro from the front kinda reminds of the Grinch!!🤣😂🤣 It's a nice looking Camaro!!👍

[@frostreaper4364]

You forgot to mention 2ss has a rear view camera for amazing visibility

[@matthewa158]

He did near the end of the video, I don't think he mentioned it was only on the 2SS tho.

[@josevsantosable]

But if on top of that you add the 1LE package that is removed for some reason.

[@LordDeadSpider]

Jose Santos Because the camera is mounted in the spoiler if I am not mistaken. The 1LE has a different one. I thought they were bringing it to the 1LE’s though for the 2020 lineup 🤷‍♂️

That front end design is now on point. (Last version...dunno, looked incomplete somehow.) The Hi-liter paint is a real head turner.

[@bobbya8622]

Nice car! The color wouldn’t be my choice, but other than that, very positive thoughts about this 2020 Chevy Camaro SS.

[@Gabriel_s197]

Visibility is not as bad as people say

[@stevemt3422]

Dual mode exhaust is a must! Standard exhaust is too quiet.

[@josevsantosable]

Quad tips!

[@richardmorris7063]

Yeah a dual mode exhaust to give it a little better sound and a few more horsepower would be a good option. The one LT is a good option water horsepower cheap price I probably go with larger tires on the rear probably 3:25. But between the Camaros and the Mustang GT it would be a very hard decision but I'd still text the Camaro 1lt is the Best Buy for the buck but I'm a Chevy guy

[@richardmorris7063]

That car looks so dope in that color

[@frankzane3760]

Straight pipe is a must

[@DivoGo]

Own a 2015 RS. I’m used to the visibility issue.❤️

[@crankychris2]

One can buy a '15 for under 10G. Same visibility and handling as a 35G SS2 that your dealer is so desperate to sell...

[@alsnow3582]

I have a 2019 2SS and visibility just isn't an issue. When I get into anything else (Mustang, Challenger), I feel like I'm in a family sedan. By the way, with all the negative hype of the '19 front grill, the 2020 looks dull in comparison.

[@anguswilson8595]

I own a 21 3LT. Great car. No visibility issues, except when stopped at a traffic light-sometimes you need to lean forward to see it! Other than that, no problem. Love the car.

[@mr.thickey1820]

"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"!!! I care NOTHING for "muscle cars", never have, never will! BUT the GORGEOUS COLOR of this car really really "flips my lid"!!! One of the most beautiful colors I've ever seen in my 80 years! When it seems like most "contemporary Americans" go for tasteless colors like silver, black, & gray, this color sets a "new milestone" for GORGEOUS! MY "COLOR LUSTER" is a "draggin' on da flow"! Can't miss this color in the parkin' lot, unless dere's annudder von like it! Saturation gone WILD!!! "Gesundheit" mein heir!!!!!

[@outperformancelife3145]

Honestly I drove one of these yesterday on 09/16/2019, and I thought that it had a good amount of visibilit. I drove a red one with 6 cylinders and it was great.

[@Vosovogalsyncope]

I drove a silver metallic 1le and it had terrible visibility IMO. Great power though!

[@coniccinoc]

I am planning on getting a 6 cyl this Spring.

[@outperformancelife3145]

@@Vosovogalsyncope I mean its not made to be a "seen through glass" muscle car. Lol. They are meant for looks and power. See I used to drive a semi truck and I no longer complain about visibility in cars. The Camaro I drove came with back up camera, with good size mirrors, and was extremely comfortable let alone the thing got up and went really nice. Only complaint about the auto is that it has a hesitation when you press the gas. Like manuals have no hesitation usually. I would take mine to a garage to have that lousy hesitation deleted out of the computer. How about you two?

[@ciscovolkswagen8853]

@@coniccinoc You're gonna love it! I had a v6 convertible for a week as a rental and honestly the power was good and it had the sport exhaust. The 8 speed makes a satisfying little fart noise when you accelerate hard. Its such a fun and good handling car. I loved it

I learned yesterday that Camaro has been dropping sales against the Mustang and Challenger. They were even, now they are way behind. GM hopes the new options will reverse the slide. I rode in a friend’s new Camaro 2SS and was impressed.

[@scottdavis_34]

Great review! I'm the owner of a 2019 V6 Camaro with the RS package. I love it! Regarding the visibility you really do adjust to it fairly quickly. Adjusting the side mirrors properly also helps out a lot. I'm really surprised though that this SS didn't include the Bose sound system. I have it in mine and it really is worth the little bit of extra cost.

[@leafsrule2116]

its not his car and its a option the sound system , like mag ride etc.

[@mikecuttitta]

daily driving a 2011 camaro ss isnt super tough visibility wise. the toughest thing is seeing directly behind you. it took a few days to get used to the visibility and i personally find the side visibility better in the camaro compared to my dad's challenger. i guess the only fix i would recommend for someone looking for a gen 5 or 6 camaro is make sure to have a backup camera and that fixes the biggest visibility issues

I own 2 camaros (2010 RS and a 2019 ZL1) and drive other sports cars a lot. The visibility is not a issue since I daily camaros for 10 years. People just don't realize how bad the visibility most sports car had. Any other sports car with a low roof line design has the similar issue. For example Aston martins has similar visibility as the camaro and dont even mention the lambos. You literally cant see out from any Lamborghinis other than the Urus SUV.
